Amos 9:9-15 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

9. For see, I have given the commandto sift the house of Israel among all the nations,As one sifts with a sieve,letting no pebble fall to the ground.

10. All sinners among my people shall die by the sword,those who say, “Disaster will not reach or overtake us.”

11. On that day I will raise upthe fallen hut of David;I will wall up its breaches,raise up its ruins,and rebuild it as in the days of old,

12. That they may possess the remnant of Edom,and all nations claimed in my name—oracle of the Lord, the one who does this.

13. Yes, days are coming—oracle of the Lord—When the one who plows shall overtake the one who reapsand the vintager, the sower of the seed;The mountains shall drip with the juice of grapes,and all the hills shall run with it.

14. I will restore my people Israel,they shall rebuild and inhabit their ruined cities,Plant vineyards and drink the wine,set out gardens and eat the fruits.

15. I will plant them upon their own ground;never again shall they be pluckedFrom the land I have given them—the Lord, your God, has spoken.
